[ It's not often Kallie makes an initial, non-private post to the network, but - true to the same form as her previous attempts, she jumps right into things, her tone quiet but tense. ]

Yeah, I don't think for a second that this is over. In less than a couple weeks, it'll have been a year since the numbers first started working for us. This network.

[ She takes another quick breath, but then... that's all. Suddenly, she's a lot angrier than she was a few moments earlier- half because just look at the state of the damn city now, and half because... none of this still makes any sense to her. Of course, she herself recognizes it's possible she's out of the loop even more than newer folk, given her almost stubborn at times detachment... though that's definitely not something that makes her feel any better.

To be honest, she's not entirely certain where she was even going with this. She just felt it needed to be vented anyway.

After all, today's the one year anniversary of her very first Echo. Somehow, she doesn't feel like celebrating. ]

It's easier to know you're involved when you end up in the club. Everyone else's just left thinking they've gotten caught up in something weird.

How long've you been on this thing? Did you think it was gonna go away that easy?

[ Hey now, mystery-texter, attitude. After a frowning moment, Kallie decides that if he wants an answer he can read her other replies; she's not going to waste her time trying to deal with what looks to her like a whole lotta incorrect assumptions. ]
